Jeb Bush hints at 2016 run for President

[^_^ 5,021]

i don't have a high opinion of either one.

i'm voting david icke or chuck d. can't make up my mind..

high opinion? yeah, same here. both candidates would be highly imperfect.

but electorally speaking, i don't see how hillary beats jeb. not gonna happen.

not trolling, it's true. bush eats into a big chuck of the obama voter. hillary doesn't really get any of the gop vote (after fox news is done reminding them of the clinton years and benghazi).

It's too early to think about Jeb running for Pres, as the RNC has to get rid of Rove this month, first.

When that happens? Different canvas for the RNC. Then MAYBE Jeb can show up as being the smarter choice, when the RNC puts out their candidate list.

Sure, Jeb has some hope, but there's some obstacles and other humans to overcome, first.

Does Karl Rove still work for the RNC?

depends upon what you consider a big chunk. imo, that portion of the vote is up for grabs. how many people want to revisit bush? clinton? meh.

i think there's a good portion of americans who want to get on board the third party train; if a suitable candidate/party would emerge ahead of same old same old, that would be great.

and i totally said this in my best jay z impersonation.

Can't do it without a #######-ton of money. Only someone like Bloomberg can do it. But he can't win. Soda ban guy can never be President.

Why is it shocking that in a country this large with an electorate so wired you need money to campaign? I don't understand why professional leftists always act so shocked at that fact. This isn't Luxemborg. You can't go door to door.

no shock regarding needing money, it's where the money comes from.

Money will come from people who have enough to give it.

In Obama's 2008 campaign, 26% of Obama's money came from "contributors whose total donations added up to $200 or less."

Yes, 26% is a lot less than 100% but it's still a big chunk of change that came from people like you and I. No?

Clearly, when presented with a candidate who excites, small donors do pony up. And clearly, given that we made up 26% of his campaign cash, our contribution was material.

So what's the problem?

we need the best qualified candidate to win, such candidates never emerge from the 'most money' pool. level the playing field.

Do we really need a President? I know we're constitutionally required to have one, but putting that aside...
